Representatives ever since the opening
day of the Twentieth Legislature, if not
before. To reconcile the growing
rivalry between the University proper
aud the Agricultural and Mechanical
branch that lays claim to two-ftths Of
the University fund has been ard is yet
vtXed question. Delegations from both
colleges have been before legislative com
mittees that had in hand the formation Of
bills relative to the sale of lands or ap-
preparations for the maintenance Of pub
lie institutions, protesting to one feature
and urging another until things begin to
look mixed so far as q satisfactory
solution goes. At the afternoon
session Of the House yesterday
MIR. McGaughey introduced bill that
some seem 10 think will be the key to IN
lock the situation and reconcile the rival
factions. This bill gives out Of the for
feited Pacific reservation 500, 200 acres to
the Agricultural and Mechanical College;
500, 900 acres TO the Medical Collie &c at
Galveston; 500, COO acres to the proposed
cOlOred branch, and 100 900 acres for the
support of eleven free scholarships, or
one from each congressional district.
Also all the scraps in the organized coun-
ties-about 100000 acres-to the free
school fund
1t places the University and all its
branches and lands under the control of
| the BOARD Of regents, to be composed of
the Governor, Land Commissioner and
superintendent Of Public Instruction, as
ex-officio members, and one member
from each congressional district.
AS condition precedent to the &C
ceptance Of the endowment bestowed by
this act upon ths several branches Of the
University, it is hereby provided that said
branches shall hereafter have no further
claim upon the University funds or lands.
The bill repeats all laws in conflict, in
GLIDING that providing separate direct
CRY for the Agricultural and Mechanical
College. An emergency clause is added
Tor the bill to have immediate effect.

The Matter TO Be Finally Settled at Hills.
boro
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, Tx, March 15.-The readers OF
THE GAZETTE will probably remember
a case detailed in special kilograms from
this point that was heard here last
spring before Judge Hall, of the Hills
boro district, who WAS at that time acting
for Judge Williams of this district, for
the possession of a child, a little girl
The parties to the suit were Mrs. Hattie
Pierce and her husband, Mr.. a. Q Pierce
Counsel for the husband at that time Sc
cured an order from Judge Hall to place
the child temporarily under the care of
an aunt, Mrs. NJ. NJ. Borgess., of this city,
a sister Of MIR. Pierce, until the case
came up again. Messrs. Clark & Dyer,
counsel for Mrs. Pierce, secured a mOdi-
fication OF the order granted by Judge
Hail and had the child placed under
he protection of Sheriff Marsh,
of Smith county, under whose care it has
been ever since. But, it is stated, through
the sympathy of Sheriff Marsh, the child
has been almost entirely with it's mother
until this time. Mrs. Pierce was in the
city to-day with her little one, who is a
bright, golden-hsired girl, about eight
years old, and seems very devoted to her
fmother. She leaves tonight for Hills
boro, accompanied by her son-in law, MI
COnnally, who is acting for Sheriff Marsh,
to deliver the child to the court at Hills
Ooro, where the case will be tried in the
District court to morrow before Judge
Hall, and no doubt a final decision will
then be rendered as to whether father or
mother shall hold the child.
